Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
Key facts we established about the operation behind securefx.net.
- Brand: SecureFX, styled on the site as the 'World's #1 Trusted Broker'.
- Legal entity: SecureFx Capital Ltd, a Saint Lucia company. The site footer separately uses the name 'SecureFX, Inc.', an inconsistency the operator never explains.
- Registered: 1st Floor, Meridian Place, Choc Estate, Castries, Saint Lucia. The FCA also lists a London mail-forwarding address (71-75 Shelton Street) and an Edmonton, Canada address for the same firm.
- Website: securefx.net (live). A Canada-facing securefx.ca and a client.securefx.net portal also belong to the operation; securefx.ca does not currently resolve.
- Only licence shown: Saint Lucia registration No. 2023-00646, an International Business Company number, not a forex or financial licence.
- Offers: forex, metals, indices, energy and commodities on MetaTrader 5, leverage up to 2000:1, minimum deposit 10 USD.
- Contact funnel: a UAE phone (+971), a Canadian phone, plus WhatsApp and Telegram.
- Age claim: '15+ Years of Market Excellence' and '25,896+ Active Trading Accounts', neither of which matches a website first seen in 2024.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
The verdict rests on one regulator finding and several self-evident contradictions on the broker's own site.
- A regulator warning naming this exact firm. On 11 June 2024 the FCA listed SECUREFX Capital LTD, website www.securefx.net, and the Saint Lucia address, stating it is not authorised and may be providing financial services without permission. The entity, domain and address all match the site we examined, so there is no doubt it is the same operation.
- No real licence anywhere. The only item on the regulation page is a Saint Lucia company number. The Saint Lucia FSRA states that forex business is not licensed there and that any broker presenting such a registration as a licence is making a false and misleading claim.
- A fabricated track record. The homepage advertises 15+ years and tens of thousands of accounts. The securefx.net domain was first registered on 21 March 2024, and there is no earlier website history for this operation.
- Regulation it does not have. The site calls itself 'multi-regulated' and 'globally licensed' and implies UK and Canadian registration, but it names no regulator, the FCA confirms it is not authorised, and the 'Licenses and Registrations' link is empty.
- Boiler-room signals. Very high leverage, a 10 USD entry deposit, and a WhatsApp and Telegram contact funnel fit the unlicensed solicitation the FCA warned about. Third-party reviews describe deposits taken and withdrawals then blocked behind extra fees, though we could not independently confirm specific cases.
- Taken together, we assess the risk of fraud as high. We stop short of a confirmed-scam label only because the withdrawal-blocking conduct, while reported, is not backed by verified, itemised victim records.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The UK FCA warning list names SECUREFX Capital LTD, website www.securefx.net, and the Saint Lucia address, stating the firm is not authorised and may be offering financial services without permission (published 11 June 2024).
E2The broker regulation page presents only a Saint Lucia company number (License No: 2023-00646) as its authorisation while branding itself multi-regulated. Saint Lucia licenses no forex business, so this is company paperwork shown as if it were a trading licence.
StrongSecureFX regulation pageE3The homepage advertises World's #1 Trusted Broker, 15+ Years of Market Excellence, 25,896+ Active Trading Accounts, Globally Licensed and Compliant, and Multi-Regulated Broker, none of which is supported by any verifiable licence or history.
StrongSecureFX homepageE4Domain records show securefx.net was first registered on 21 March 2024, which is incompatible with the site claim of 15+ years in business.
E5The Trustpilot page for securefx.net carries only two reviews, a single generic 5-star from July 2024 and one 1-star, an implausibly small footprint for a broker claiming tens of thousands of active accounts.
ModerateTrustpilotE6The FCA record lists a London mail-forwarding address (71-75 Shelton Street) and an Edmonton, Canada address alongside the Saint Lucia company, plus UK, Canadian and UAE contact points, consistent with cross-border solicitation by a firm licensed nowhere.
E7SecureFx Capital Ltd appears to be a genuine Saint Lucia International Business Company (No. 2023-00646). This confirms the company exists on paper but is not evidence of any trading licence or client-fund protection.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
We looked for an innocent explanation and could not sustain one.
- Is it a regional arm of a regulated group? No. No tier-1 or tier-2 regulator lists SecureFx Capital Ltd or securefx.net, and the site links to no parent group.
- Is the Saint Lucia registration real? Probably yes as a company, and we credit that the entity appears to exist on paper. But a Saint Lucia IBC is corporate paperwork that grants no authority to take client money for trading.
- Is the FCA warning about a different SecureFX? No. The warning lists the exact website and the exact Saint Lucia address shown on this site, so it is locked to this operation.
- Could the register simply be lagging a new licence? No. The FCA finding is a positive warning, not a missing entry, and Saint Lucia issues no forex licence to find.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
We would revisit this assessment if the facts changed in these specific ways.
- The FCA removes its warning against SECUREFX Capital LTD, or confirms it was issued in error.
- SecureFX obtains and publishes a genuine, verifiable licence from a recognised financial regulator (for example the FCA, ASIC, CySEC or the UAE SCA), with a number that resolves on that regulator's own register.
- The operator corrects its own site: it removes the false 15+ years and multi-regulated claims and discloses accurate ownership and history.
- A pattern of verified, successful client withdrawals emerges across independent platforms, replacing the current reports of blocked withdrawals.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is SecureFX a scam?
We rate SecureFX a high-risk, likely scam. It is unlicensed, the UK FCA has warned against it, and it advertises a 15+ year history that its 2024 domain contradicts. Treat it as unsafe for your money.
Is SecureFX a fraud?
We found no court or criminal fraud ruling against SecureFx Capital Ltd, so we do not state that as a fact. What we can say is that the UK FCA has publicly warned that the firm is not authorised and that consumers should beware of scams. On the evidence we reviewed, we assess the risk of fraud as high.
Is SecureFX regulated?
No. Its only registration is a Saint Lucia company number (2023-00646), which is not a forex licence. Saint Lucia does not license forex trading, and no tier-1 or tier-2 regulator authorises this firm.
Did a regulator warn about SecureFX?
Yes. On 11 June 2024 the UK Financial Conduct Authority added SECUREFX Capital LTD (website www.securefx.net) to its warning list of unauthorised firms. The warning lists the same Saint Lucia address shown on the broker's own site.
Can I withdraw my money from SecureFX?
There is no guarantee. Third-party reviews report withdrawals being delayed or blocked behind extra fees. If you hold a balance, request it now and do not pay any fee to unlock it.
Is my money safe with SecureFX?
No regulator protects it. Because the firm is unlicensed, there is no ombudsman and no compensation scheme, so if the money disappears you are unlikely to get it back.
Who owns SecureFX?
The site names SecureFx Capital Ltd, a Saint Lucia company, and separately uses the name SecureFX, Inc. No individual owners or directors are disclosed, and the firm lists UK, Canada and UAE contact points.
How old is SecureFX really?
The securefx.net website was first registered on 21 March 2024, and the company appears to date from 2023. The advertised 15+ years of market excellence is not supported by any record we could find.
What is a Saint Lucia IBC licence worth for a broker?
Very little for your protection. An International Business Company registration only confirms a company exists on paper. It grants no authority to hold client funds or run a regulated brokerage, and Saint Lucia itself says forex is not licensed there.
Is SecureFX a clone of another broker?
No. SecureFX uses its own name and its own Saint Lucia entity, and we found no evidence it impersonates a specific regulated firm. The problem is that it is unlicensed and misrepresents its status, not that it copies another company.
What should I do if I was scammed by SecureFX?
Stop sending money immediately and refuse any fee to release funds. Gather all records and report to your national regulator and police, and if you paid by card or bank transfer ask your bank about a chargeback or recall. Be cautious of recovery agents who ask for an upfront fee.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Confirm the licence number on the regulator's own register, not just the broker's website. Check the domain registration date against any since-year claim, read independent reviews, and avoid brokers pushing high leverage, big bonuses, or WhatsApp and Telegram account managers.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
For anyone considering or already using SecureFX:
- Do not deposit new funds. There is no regulator protecting your money and the UK FCA has warned against this firm.
- If you hold a balance, request a full withdrawal now and save every screenshot, chat log and transaction record.
- Refuse any demand to pay a fee, tax or deposit to release a withdrawal. Paying more to unlock funds is the classic advance-fee trap.
- Be wary of recovery offers. Anyone who contacts you promising to get your money back for an upfront fee is usually a second scam.
- Report your experience to your national regulator and, for card or bank payments, ask your bank about a chargeback. UK users can read the warning at the FCA warning page.
